Bug #16248
openQLink/Marvell 41000 NIC bug
0%
Description
I'm using pfSense 2.8.0 and I have a QL41164 NIC. Driver isn't enabled by default, after adding if_qlnxe_load="YES" under /boot/loader.conf as per documentation and then rebooting the NIC finally shows in pfSense. When I switch the WAN port from an igb0 NIC to the ql0 NIC I cant ping the interface IP. Doing a reboot of pfSense sometimes causes a crash dump, sometimes the interface wont be pingable, and sometimes when it is pingable, the web GUI fails to load and gives a crash report.
rash report begins. Anonymous machine information:
amd64

FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT #1 RELENG_2_8_0-n256081-401ec5f685b9: Wed May 21 23:53:51 UTC 2025 root@freebsd:/var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-CE-snapshots-2_8_0-main/obj/amd64/0q9vjGjc/var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-CE-snapshots-2_8_0-main/sources/FreeBSD-src-RE
Crash report details:
No PHP errors found.
No FreeBSD crash data found.
I installed FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-amd64-20250606-fa02d9fceab7-277727-memstick.img on the same machine and it has no issues with the QL41164 NIC after activation. I get full 9.4Gbps using iperf and no crash dumps. I seems like you are missing an updated QLNXE NIC driver in the 2.8.0 version
